Synopsis

A bold medieval adventure unfolds as a forged bond between a young noble and his sworn forester is tested by siege, oath, and honor.

In Cedric, the Forester, a lively world of castles, banners, and brave deeds comes to life through the eyes of a young knight-in-training and his fearless ally. From courtly feasts to risky forest skirmishes, the story blends chivalry with practical battlefield craft and the weight of family duty. Set against the backdrop of Mountjoy, Carleton, and the roaming danger of rebellious nobles, the tale follows campaigns, plans, and the thin line between loyalty and ambition. Expect fast-paced action, strategic thinking, and moments of cloaked danger as loyalties are tested and promises are kept.

• Dynamic scenes of horseback combat, archery, and defensive sieges that drive the plot forward
• A vivid medieval setting with lords, abbots, and sworn honor codes
• Tactical moves and quick-thinking decisions that shape the fate of a fortress town
• Character bonds built on trust, courage, and shared risk in war-torn times

Ideal for readers who enjoy classic historical adventure, knightly honor, and the grit of frontier defense.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Cedric, the Forester

Now he raised himself on his arm and claimed the victory; Two huge stones, hurled by Alan the Armorer, came down on the heads of the luckless churls in the moat; Dame Franklin and the old soldier were frozen in their places; The force of my blow drove him backward, but my weapon pierced him not; We had gone scarce half a mile when 'twas plainly to be seen that my little mare was no match for the long-limbed steeds of the Carletons; When I spoke my mother had grown pale as death; Then Elbert did come to the mark and, with a merry grin, sent five arrows toward the target; We made a procession through the field, all the men and maidens shouting and dancing and making a most merry and heartening din; He gave no inch of ground save to leap from side to side in avoiding my downward strokes; In a twinkling armed and mounted men were all about us; Old Marvin had his cross-bow ready drawn, and he shot young Montalvan through the face at the very first onset.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
